He's a British school survivor turned dual-major graduate (Finance and Quantitative Economics), with a side hustle in design and fashion. When not globe-trotting or winning collegiate battles, you might catch him cracking jokes – and he's got the awards to prove he's no slouch either!

What People Are Saying

What People Are Saying

  • "He embraced difficult tasks, and did not hesitate to go after a new project...to quote him directly, 'It will be fun'".

    His two main proficiencies are technical savviness/problem-solving and creativity/cleverness.

    His creativity came into play while integrating sub-ledger databases into our normal Accounting and Finance workflows, which increased efficiencies and cut down on manual time needed to close the books. His ability to quickly learn a software, tool, or programming language and rapidly integrate this knowledge into a workflow was seamless. Perhaps the most important thing to know about Vardhan is his positive attitude and character. He embraced difficult tasks, and did not hesitate to go after a new project...to quote him directly, "It will be fun".

  • "His out of the box thinking, while being the source of countless heated debates were mostly the right call for a unique twist to whatever we were working on."

    Vardhan is one of the most creative people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. His out of the box thinking, while being the source of countless heated debates were mostly the right call for a unique twist to whatever we were working on. He has commitment and dedication to his projects and would constantly come up with tweaks on how to make it better. The patience required for this level of iteration has left a mark on me as well that I apply for all my projects since.

  • "As his calm, composed nature can only be eclipsed by his professional and efficient working style."

    Having studied together for over a decade, I've had the pleasure of knowing and befriending Vardhan over time. Away from friendly relations, Vardhan is one of the most exceptional people I've had the pleasure of working with as his calm, composed nature can only be eclipsed by his professional and efficient working style. For any company that his skill set suits, he'd make an exemplary candidate - one that will yield fine results and recognize the great potential this man carries.

  • "This just proves how creative of a person he really is and that he is quick to think on his feet"

    Not only is he intelligent but he is also very easy to learn from since he has a very impactful way of teaching. He uses many visual explanations and if one way does not help his student/client understand, he always has a backup plan of explaining the same problem. This just proves how creative of a person he really is and that he is quick to think on his feet. Vardhan tutored me for an entire semester.

When in doubt, I:

  • For facing fears, speaking out, not taking everything seriously, understanding love and respect, seeking forgiveness, tasting life. With my people, my pocket of stillness.

  • After seeking inspiration from different formats by countless artists with various events happening around me, it evokes a thought, an idea, an impression, or a feeling in my mind. My interpretation of it keeps me committed for a while, striving to structure and finish my work, staying in a feedback loop seeking perfection and completeness.

  • The best part of working on a never-ending project is that I can smoothly dabble between doing what I usually do or working on something completely new, and fresh. That freedom to do whatever I like, whenever I feel like is liberating. If I can’t find anything, I may start a new one.

  • UNAPOLOGETICALLY.

  • Reading up on these individuals, and legends, in my opinion, makes me believe in the illusion that one can be the master of all trades.

  • This could involve watching how comedians improvise their set, filmmakers developing VFX or characterization for their films, coders discovering the logic of their workflow, theatre artists blocking scenes for a play, or watching interviews of artists/fashion designers. This peephole acts as a gateway to understanding how they view things, how they get inspired, how they make things happen, etc.

  • I'm the resident "Question Guru" around here, always stirring up curiosity with my endless inquiries.
